Thanks for the links. 
 
I am having a bit of trouble articulating what i am looking for. 
 
The purity I am seeking isnt in a movement per se. It is purity in getting back to myself. Have had to compromise a bit much of myself of late. I was referring to getting back to my roots.

Start with Amnesty International,  http://www.amnesty.org/en/campaigns/...-against-women, and take a look at the book I have linked in my sig line (by Nick Kristof, a feminist man).
 
I understand the urge, but I don't think a "pure" form of feminism exists.  As has been talked about, feminism as a movement has been guilty of racism, classism, even misogyny.  No social movement is without its serious blind spots and drawbacks.  None can be glorified.
